Winterborne Zelston
Winterborne Zelston includes the hamlets of Huish and Winterbornes Tomson and Anderson, all connected by the Winterborne stream. The village itself is very attractive, having won “The best kept village award” on a number of occasions and everyone makes a big effort to keep the village neat and tidy.
There is a positive attitude of care for one another and a widespread desire to keep the church up and running as part of the active life of the village, with many locals helping with fundraising in one form or the other, whether it be dog shows, duck races or village suppers.
The church community
We have a monthly service, usually on the 2nd Sunday of the month at 11am. (This changes in March and April to accommodate a Mothering Sunday and Easter Day service) In November we gather as a village around the memorial on Remembrance Sunday at 10.50 and in December we usually have an outdoor Carol Service and then a Christmas Eve Service (please see the Red Post Website or here for an up to date time)

Our building
The Church itself dates from the 14th century but was substantially rebuilt in
Victorian times, circa 1860.
It remains open every day and provides a place of peace, for prayer and praise, for
the people who walk by, often dog-walking, and for those who come visiting.
